BSNL had a good start, but it primarily focused on villages and small cities. Unfortunately, it couldn’t expand much in larger cities. Their old mindset held them back, thinking they would only stay at a certain level. This resulted in significant losses for BSNL, while other companies benefited greatly from introducing 4G and 5G networks in cities, villages, and other countries.
When BSNL started
The starting of BSNL was in 1881 when the government granted a license to the Oriental Telephone Company Limited, an English company, to open telephone exchanges in Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad.
BSNL was formed through the corporatization of the predecessor Telecom Service Department and came into existence on September 15, 2000. The company has acquired the preceding works of the Telecommunications Department about the provision of telecommunication services throughout the country, excluding Delhi and Mumbai, starting from October 1, 2020.
Who owns the BSNL company?
BSNL is a good service provider in India, and its work is done in New Delhi. BSNL’s headquarters, Bharat Sanchar Bhawan, is located on Harish Chandra Mathur Lane, Janpath, New Delhi. It is a government company that the government created.
Why is BSNL making losses?
Due to the increasing loans, higher expenses on employees and marketing, and the need for telecom companies to refund the interconnect USG charges, it may be necessary to write off the losses and increase expenses.
